Kinvara or Kerensa?

[nanasui]

Or any similar suggestions?

Doesn’t have to start with K, these are just two we like. I also liked Saskia but DH thinks she’ll be called Sassy for short.

There's a pretty town in Ireland, Galway I think, called Kinvara which is I assume where you've got that name from.

I think it is nice as a name for a girl.

Kinvara is a town in Ireland.

They sound made up

except they aren't

Oh dear don't.

They're all awful. Sorry! Saskia is the least awful, but I still don't like it.

I have taught several girls called Saskia and they have all been known as Saskia, never Sassy.

Saskia is much nicer than Kinvara or Kerensa.

Baby name boards here are so weird. It's like the posters live in incredibly ignorant bubbles with zero diversity.

I knew a Kerenza. Really pretty name.

I know a Saskia who is shortened to Sass.

Do you have some connection to the village of Kinvara in southwest Galway? That would still be quite weird, though, like calling your child Boscastle or Staithes. It’s also a fairly well-known natural skincare range.

Of the two I prefer Kinvara. Simply because it's less likely to be misheard.

I know a Kerenza. It’s a nice name, and not made up. I like Saskia too.

Kezia is lovely and has the vibe.

I like Karensa, but I am partial to a Cornish name.

Keziah is nice but people will say it as Kez-ya not Kez-eye-a, which is a shame

I like Kerensa / Kerenza too, definitely not made up and very evocative of Cornwall.

Kinzie?

I know a Karenza - I must admit, I thought it was made up! So I’ve learned something from this thread!

Kinvara is the name of a range of skincare.

They sound like names for the contraceptive pill. Ditch both.

Kerensa as it’s an actual name.

Kinvara is just a place in Ireland…

I must agree.

I like Kerensa and Saskia the best, but also think Kinvara has distinctive pretty sound.

Like Kerenza, but like Kezia better

It’s a very nice place!

no stranger than children called Kerry, Clare, Tyrone

I like Kerenza/Karensa. And Keziah. Saskia doesn’t have to be a Sassy and is a nice name. Do you like any of the suggestions from pps? There are some lovely ones. I’ll add Kendra and Danica.

Oh neither they sound like birth control pills. Saskia is better
